Experimental Fluid Dynamics Lab
The Experimental Fluid Dynamics Lab is a state of the art facility featuring a water channel with a working length of 5m and a working cross-section of 80 x 60 cm, in addition to Particle Image Velocimetry equipment, which allow students to visualize fluid structures. The lab is also equipped with adequate facilities to help students understand the behavior of fluids, such as hydraulic benches, pumps, flow regime identification equipment, etc.
